    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The people I worked with were fantastic and no two weeks were ever the same.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was included in anything that was happening in the office and can go and chat to anyone.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Anything I wasn't sure about I could just ask and it would be explained. They didn't expect me to know everything and were always around to support me or give me the contact details of someone who would help.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It varied each week depending on what was happening but there would always be something to do. On the rare occasion when I had nothing to do, I would simply send out an email asking if my managers needed anything and that would always bring in work!

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was involved in absolutely everything from forecasting new opportunities and inputting them into the system to organising events that ranged from large balls to small business meetings.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt how to interact within a global corporation and how they perform which is a vital skill. Other skills are day to day lessons, for example my knowledge of excel is beyond anything that I would learn in a lab and the ability to organise an event with half a days notice is something who can only learn in practice.

    5/5

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It was fun and there was lots of banter. However, of course, you were also able to work hard and concentrate.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was fantastic, the on-boarding process was fantastic and I felt like a part of the company within a couple of weeks.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was assigned two mentors and also the previous intern was kept on for another month to make sure that I was properly trained.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is expensive but socialising with the company is subsidised as the managers take you out.
